The eight essays in David Boydâs and Imre Salusinszkyâs Rereading Frye form a unified chorale that allows us to hear some main themes of an author whose ideas about the humanities have becomeâlike the gospel in religionânearly unavoidable.1 The Frye who said that, with his Anatomy of Criticism (1958), he became a âsixty-year-old smiling public manâ at forty-five, balances the interiorly focused âNorrieâ whom we are now meeting in the posthumously revealed Notebooks. A major project of the latter was his âOgdoadâ: two groups of four books each. â[T]he second group of four [. . .] were considered to be Blakean âemanationsâ or counterparts of the first four,â like âthe âdouble mirrorâ structure of The Great Code and Words with Power : two inter-reflecting parts of four chapters apiece,â Michael Dolzani reports (RF 22). The present volume, dividing itself between a centripetal half focusing on Fryeâs own, early mental self-construction, and a centrifugal half, treating his relations to the larger literary scene of theory, apparently models itself on a scheme Frye thrice arrived at for his own work. All the essayists recognize a published, explicit Fryeâthe Great Explainerâ and an unpublished, implicit one, yet to be wholly explained.
